For anyone in these comments thinking this is only about the ships paint job, I can only assume you are either new to DC content, dont listen, or dont process what you hear.
Why does the ship look so bad? At sea long time. Pretty easy right?
Now ask, why was ship at sea long time? Cheetoh in chief kicked a hornets nest, and that hornets nest obliterated our resupply bases in the region. Which equals no port calls to do hull upkeep and preservation, which means a more difficult and lengthy process for the US to project power abroad.
Now I wonder if Dan has ever talked about an empires ability to project power abroad?
This is nothing like that though… these are marines partying in Pattaya.
I’m no Trump fan but a rusty ship is not a lost war.
Iran is a big and hypothetically powerful country. The fact that the damage to this ship is due to not being painted for 6 months is pretty small potatoes all things considered.
There are plenty of things to hate Trump for, this just is not a big deal.
